Have you ever noticed that there's a silent force... hidden deep within your chest... that chooses for you without you even thinking about it? A force that decides who you love, who you get close to... and even who you "tolerate," all the while knowing it will hurt? Imagine. One day, you wake up and realize that all your emotional decisions—absolutely every single one—follow the same pattern. As if an invisible hand is guiding you toward the same stories, the same people, the same emptiness. And when you finally look inside... you discover that this hand isn't destiny. It's a shadow. And the Shadow only chooses pain when there's a very old wound... a wound that was born before you even understood what love was. Carl Jung said that empaths carry within them a sacred sensitivity—but also a secret prison: the Wounded Mother archetype. And when this archetype is healed... something incredible happens. The shadow stops choosing pain. And your life begins to choose you.
